Associate Process Engineer at Osobio Pharmaceutical Manufacturing LLC, Albuquerque, NM (current) Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Tapecon Inc., Buffalo, NY (06/14-08/14)

Used Lean Manufacturing principles and process control techniques to prepare preventive maintenance charts and work instruction tables for the technicians to ease the maintenance process and reduce repair costs.

These PM charts saved technicians approximately 15 minutes per machine for maintenance and also saved the company approximately USD 10000 on repair annually.

Project Researcher for Shark skin structure on a UAV to reduce Drag: A 3D Printing Approach

(DART Lab, University at Buffalo, SUNY: 03/14-10/14)

Optimized the shark-mimicking riblet structure geometry to reduce drag on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) wings and fabricated the wing using additive manufacturing/ 3D printing.

3D Modeled the UAV wings and performed flow simulation to test drag reduction with the help of riblets.

Incorporating the riblet structures helped reduce drag by approximately 5%, thus reducing fuel consumption. Project Trainee at Aura Laserfab. Pvt. Ltd, Pune, India (07/12-05/13)

Designed and manufactured a mechanical manipulator required to weld the base plate for a JCB excavator which required welds on both sides of the frame, thus requiring the fixture to rotate.

Used concepts of cellular manufacturing and group technology for manufacturing.

Manufacturing an in-house fixture saved the company approximately INR 600000 and is being used till date. University at Buffalo, SUNY

Automated Manufacturing Process of an Industrial Scissor Lift, 08/14-12/14

Created a process plan and a factory layout for an annual production of 5000 trolleys.

Incorporated concepts of DFM and Group Technology and automated the manufacturing process.

Developed a mathematical solution for optimizing material handling costs saving any potential company USD 2 per trolley. Design of a novel 3D Printer, 01/14-05/14

Designed and performed FEA and Kinematic Analysis of a novel cable driven Fused Deposition Modeling 3D printer.

Deployed Morphological Matrix as a means of effective component and materials selection.

Developed a 3D printer that can provide large workspace and high speed printing for approximately USD 1000. University of Pune

Design of a gearbox for an Elevator, 01/12-05/12

Designed a two-stage gearbox transmitting power from an electric motor to an elevator.

Used analytical and optimization methods to find the ideal gear ratio (36:1) and gear type (Spur).

Derived a mathematical solution by testing the design with its weight carrying capacity.

Completed the project with a design model using AutoCAD and Solidworks.
